In a housing crisis, instead of incentivizing non market housing, they are making it more precarious.

Bad juju for Israelis.

That’s a good start but these are rookie numbers.

Substantiate this please?

Sure, but the NDP happens to be the one currently lead by Naomi Klein’s husband.

The NDP is a tool that Canadians can use. Other tools exist but that’s one.

The lack of professionalism here is astounding. If you, Mr Popo think that that member of the public is doing something arrestable, you don’t get into a debate about “yaw kidz” and escalate a peaceful situation to a clusterfuck. Make the arrest in a professional way, and be done with it.

She crossed a line praising the Lod massacre perpetrators. It was not an attack on the IDF, it was an indiscriminate attack on random people in an airport.

That said, we live in an era where criminal and genocidal language is spewed by the leaders of Israel, the US, and other countries. If only the same high standards were applied to them too.

Did the guy just … tactically vote for the apocalypse?

If I were an Evangelical Christian, I would be screaming my lungs out that this is Antichrist territory.

BC Greens are more NDP than the BC NDP is. And no, I haven’t forgotten what they did to Anjali Apadurai.

Great advertisement for Chinese solar tech.

At some point, some world leader should do a dressing down of this fuckface right there in the world stage.

Edit: Trudeau was too polite: https://youtube.com/shorts/G0va-McELJE

You’re monomaniacally stuck on blaming immigrants. Every problem in this country you bring back to immigration. Immigrants to blame for unemployment, to blame for housing, to blame for healthcare. Every other thread I’ve interacted with you, same shit.

You correctly blame the neoliberals for fucking us over. You correctly identify conservative zoning policies as a cause. But then you never dare look upstream. Never actually challenge the economic basis that created these problems. You accept that economic basis, and always you still go back to blaming immigrants. This “cart before the horse” analogy is precisely telling of the kind of nativist politics you’re peddling. Ever look downstream, never upstream.

You claim to be speaking for the poor Canadians, but that’s bullshit. You don’t really care, not where it matters. Because in your brain if the bad immigrants go away, then we’ll go to the good old days, right? When poor Canadians supposedly did not have to compete with bad immigrants for scraps. See your problem is the competing part, not the scraps part.

So while you do go some way towards identifying the problem, you just don’t have the courage to name its source. You just fixate on immigrants. So all you do is either carry water for the Maple MAGA or maybe you’re one of them.

Fuck around, find out. Trump gave them this power.

The straight being open is not mutually exclusive to the US and Israel being defeated. It just means that they tuck tail and accept that in the new order they created Iran has veto power over the straight so they need to stop fucking with it.

The MAGA US needs to lose this one.

What a problematic framing you got there.

On a discussion about wait times, how does “low skilled” matter? It looks more like a racist/classist dog whistle to me. But since you went there… the increased immigration to Canada in the last decade was not “low skilled”, it included people of all sorts of skill levels, including for example the many many many people that came to Canada on study permits and who are by definition not “low skill” and are by definition in an up-skill trajectory. Among the new arrivals many were in healthcare providing professions. I personally know of an Italian doctor who left after a year and of a Tunisian nurse who drives a cab. That our archaic credentials recognition system is unable to put them to work is not their fault. The solution is not “less migration” but “faster integration” from the airport to scrubs.

Not to mention of course that many of the new student arrivals would love to go into the healthcare professions, if given the chance. But our system actively discourages people from going to med school for example, with elitist fees and with non recognition of credentials from other countries. If we wanted we could have translated a part of the “mass migration” to a “mass training of doctors and nurses”.

Your question is also disingenuous. Whether “mass immigration” had an effect and whether it had the decisive effect matters, especially if the real question that matters is what do we do to fix waiting times (and not the ick that “masses of unskilled brown people and their grandmothers” seem to be giving you). Because then we get into real question of what among the causes of long waiting times we can address with what policy levers. Chronic underfunding and underinvestment, chronic underpayment, overwork and burnout of workers, a pay-to-play education system that excludes people from the medical profession, an archaic credentials recognition system that wastes the abilities of immigrants, union busting and back to work legislation, a badly designed primary and preventive care system. But those are boring things that don’t have an easy scapegoat like “immigrants bad”.

And we are also ignoring the elephant in the room here that is … the COVID-19 pandemic, that either killed a bunch of healthcare workers outright, or gave them long term disabilities, or burned them out when the Poilievrite crowd turned on them because of vaccine misinformation. The people that complain about immigrants the loudest are the same people who were yelling at doctors and nurses outside hospitals just a few short years ago. Oh we have not forgotten what the Right did to healthcare workers.

Speaking of COVID-19 and yelling at people. The most iconic pandemic era right wing movement was the “truckers” convoy. On the one hand, the majority of truckers were South Asian immigrants and were vaccinated. On the other hand, the loud obnoxious idiots in Ottawa who were also screaming about white genocide and mass migration were a small minority of mostly white truckers. What a perfect case study of who treats healthcare responsibly. The vaccinated immigrants who just wanted to do their jobs or the unvaccinated xenophobic diagonalists chilling under police protection in inflatable hot tubs who wanted to copy MAGA and overthrow the newly elected Trudeau government to stop being “replaced” by immigrants.

…

The problem with thought stopping bullshit bullets is that they are tweet sized but debunking them takes up time and effort.

AIPAC is in the US.
